Aronberg to speak at Lehigh Chamber’s annual Gala
The Lehigh Acres Chamber of Commerce will hold its 17th annual Awards & Installation Gala on Saturday, Jan. 24, at Pelican Preserve. Keynote speaker for the event will be State Senator David Aronberg.
Aronberg has represented Southwest Florida in the State Senate since 2002. Raised in South Florida, he is a graduate of Harvard, served as a White House Fellow in both the Clinton and Bush Administrations as Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury Department. He is currently Chair of the Senate’s Military Affairs and Domestic Security committee.
The recent special session of the Florida Legislature will be the topic of Aronberg’s address. The special session, which convened on Jan. 5, was called for the purpose of balancing the state’s budget in the midst of multi-billion dollar deficits. Aronberg will discuss the actions of our legislators during the Session and how they will impact Lehigh Acres, Lee County and Southwest Florida.
In addition to hearing from Aronberg, the Chamber will install its officers for 2009 and honor several members of the community. Awards will be presented for Special Service, Deputy of the Year, Employee of the Year, Member of the Year and Volunteer of the Year. The evening will be capped off with an entertainment program.
Cocktails begin at 6 p.m. followed by dinner in Pelican Preserve’s Magnolia Room at 7 p.m.
